GREAT changes have taken place in the man
agement and appearance of Niagara Falls since
they became part of State reservation. I'm
der an act of the New York Legislature, the
State purchased 100 acres of land extending from
the suspension bridge along the river to point
a quarter of mile above the American Falls.
This purchase mas been stripped of the unsightly
structures which almost completely obscured
view of the rapids and the falls themselves. A
single stone building, the old pulp mill, still
stands, midway between the entrance to Goat
island and the cataract; but this will be taken
away in the fall. few unsightly spots must
remain for some time to come. The grounds
will be restored and all distractions to full
view of the rapids and falls will be removed.
The grounds are under the control of board of
commissioners who have full authority to
move distractions and make all needed
improvements. Their idea is to restore and pre-
serve the natural attra ctions of the place. On
the other side of the river Canadian commits
sioners have bought 125 acres of river front and
assumed similar control. Under the new re-
CINE the public are protected against the extor-
tions os hackmen and other nusances which had
brought the falls into bad repute.

THE literary critic of the Boston Advertiser

THE literary critic of the Boston Advertiser
makes the curious comment upon Maurice
Thompsons novel, 1.-THE Banker OF Bankers
vile" that, while the of the story is laid in
Indiana, the people described are not Hoosiers
at all and have nothing in common with the
typical Indianian." The typical Hoosier to
whom allusion is made is, it may be supposed
the man in jeans trousers, blue shirt, and SLOUGH
hat, who speaks uncouth language and has
figured for many years a favorire character
for dialect writer's. Considering the prominence
which the popularity of this peculiar literature
has given him, it is not to be won
dered at, perhaps, that strangers to the
West have accepted this remarkable being
sample of the best that Indiana produce.
AS matter of fact he is not representative In
dianian at ALL The traveller may 60 about the
State for many days and encounter few persons
who would answer to the description of the
"Hoosier" celebrated by writer's who seeking
after effect rather than accuracy Of portraiture.
There will be found plenty of men and women
whose dress does not conform to the latest New
York fashions and whose manner of speech
varies from the standard vernacular, but the
same is true of any region There is, indeed.
distinctive Hoosier dialect Many persons,
especially in the southern counties of the State,
use some of the words and expressions put into
their mouth by the humorous chroniclers. but
these terms not peculiar to Indiana They
in general in the South, both among
negroes and uncultured whites, and are identical
with the language given to the Crackers" of
Georgia and Tennessee by Craddock and other
writer's of that region. Southern Indiana
was largely settled by Southerners and
hence the same forms of speech prevail there.
Other elements of population came in. however,
to offset this and the yankee twang" is almost
as frequently detected as any other In diana
village street. The Yankee dialect is a
distinctive one. belonging as it does to natives
of no other than the New England States, but
the Advertiser would hardly criticise novelist
for writing Boston novel with typical Yam
kee in it. Dialect writer's have dona great injury
to the people whom they profess to describe by
creating erroneous impressions of the nature
referred to-; and in leaving the so-called typical
Hoosier out of his book and truthfully picturng
an Indiana town whose inhabitants conform to
the customs of civilization and use the English
tongue with reasonable correctness, Mr. Thomp-
son has done a service to his fellow citizens and
has set a good example to other writers.

Hotel Registers Carefully Destroyed

Hotel Registers Carefully Destroyed
When Full.
New York Mail and Express: aWhat
becomes OF all the old hotel registers ?"
asked q reporter OF the clerk OF q fash.
ionable uptown house. The clerk had
just opened q g travellers autograph
album with the date inscribed with a
mighty Housish and was casting the old
n into a corner. He welcomed the
first new arrival on the new book, gave
him The coolest room j "a the house, blew
up two bsil boys for igAting in the hail,
quoted q guest who was kicking for
more blankets on his bed and said:
That's like the fourteenth century
question about what becomes OF all the
pins. We don't keep them. We won't
let any q else keep EN- ii we know it.
Hotel registers are as carefully destroyed
as it they were dynamite cartridges that
may blow the house mp at any moment.
We cut the backs out and sell them to
bookbinders. The leaves We either burn
ourselves or sell them to some one whom
we know will grind them up into paper
stock at noe and without saving q page.
Why are We so particular about that ?
Because every time there is q big divorce
suit some hotel register is called upon
to bear witness to something unpleasant
and we are tired of it. The last divorce
mixed up took every old register we
had and most of the clerks and bellboys
to court, and interfered SO much with
business that it was hard work for a
guest to rake up anybody about the
house to wait on him. a man had reg
lstered there under eleven different
names, and they tried to make us ldenti-
fy him under every name. 1t was an
awful nuisance, and didn't do. the house
any good, either"
Don't You make any exceptions to
your rule?"
"Oh. well, If one OF those autograph
tends can convince us that he is not
hunting up evidence of some kind, put
only wants to paw around for some
great mans signature, we let him go
through the book before tits destroyed.
Rut it is seldom that we grant the re.
quest. We have to refuse . great many
im~portunate people, too. There
wat an excited man from Boston
here not long ago, who wouldn't
believe that We didn't have the
registers, and offered $1,000 for one.
He thought he had discovered that his
wife had been here when she was sup
posed to be visiting her aunt in some
country town IN Massachusetts. II he
had offered $50 900 he couldn't have got
that register, because it waa halfway
through the paper mill by that time.
Besides the possibility Of annoyance
from the courts, the keeping of registers
used to make trouble, because they took
up 30 much room. A first-class hotel ID
New York city will use from six to a
dozen registers q year, and in a few years
they would have o storeroom full OF
them, See?"

KIssa,,e,a wife Talk..

San Francisco, June 1--Since the
whereabouts of William Nissan, other,
wise known as William Rogers, have been
learned, reporters have visited his ranch
IN Sonoma county and to-day an inter
view wac held with his vile. Mrs.
Rogers said just before the publication
of Kissan's eastern career General
Dorr. who is conducting the prose-
cation, together with his wife, visited
at the ranch in a most friendly manner
but really, as she nov believes, to take
an inventory Of the property before
beginning action. Dorr, she said had
made the exposure on account o. her
husbands failure to pay tine claim tf the
Chemical bank for $4,000, which, since
the action, has dwindled to So, 800.
Asked how che Thought the affair
would end, Mrs. Rogers said: II know
how it would have ended long q if
had not begged my husband for my sake
and that of the children to leave the
punishment OF DORIS malice and cruelty,
TO some other. Wsre it not for this Dorr
would before this have had to settle
with the msIe whom he has pursued like
q fend for rio cause We can imagine than
to extort money" She added that her
husband would defend the matter in the
courts.

The Indemnity Lands.

Washington. June The policy en-
unoiated by the secretary of the interior
in regard to indemnity lands in the
Burke decision yesterday has the effect
of waking up the land lawyers and will,
it is said, encourage land stealing from
railroads to a great extent. Compelling
the railroads to appeal to the local land
office in opposition to an application to
file on an odd section within the granted
and indemnity limits of the withdrawal
will make it rather lively times
Tor the roads whose lands are unsur-
yeyed and u%npatented. These roads
will have to keep attorneys present at
local land Offices all the time or loee
their land If they fail to make the pro-
test. These lands are first guaranteed
to the roads by grant, and then with
drawn trcm settlement to keep claimants
off them. The principles enunciated In
this letter bearing upon the indemnity
lands as given in previous dispatches are
radical indeed compared with past po-
liey, but it will probably not hasten in
any way the settlement OF this question
Surveys are absolutely necessary before
selections can be made.

Chicago jane l-Oongressman Dorsey
OF Nebraska who is in the CITY on bust
ness. said last evening that as yet the
people of his state had not begun to
figure on the presidential candidates for
1888. They were attending strictly to
business aud the proof that this was nec.
essary in order not to fall behind was to
be found in the fact that the bank
clearances III Omaha had increased last
week 96 per cent owe the corresponding
week last year. Nebraska had always
been a Blaine state and would like to
cast her electoral vote for him again,
but the people did not presume to do
tate who should be nominated. A man
who could carry New York was the man
Nebraska people wanted to see at the
head OF the republican ticket, and that
man would get the full electoral vote of
the state, In reply to a question as to
what ex-senator Van Wyck
was going to do, Dorsey
said he was a man who would not be
lost. He would pop up somewhere. He
had the largest political following of
any man in the state, and he was all
right. Nebraska has never returned q
man to the senate for q second term. and
although Senator Henderson has been
most serviceable to the state, this un
written rule may defeat him for re-elsc-
| ton.
